    I think it’s the way you are presenting your argument. Instead of using the word dangerous, which it always is, you might mean deadly. It sounds kind of like you don’t know what you are talking about.

    1. Sixty meters is off of the sport diving charts. They don’t even go that deep. I’m not a PADI diver, I’m a NAUI diver so the charts are more restrictive, but to go to maximum depth in our charts (going by memory here) is something like 5 minutes bottom time with NO caves involved. So to go to that depth with one tank would be useless because you can’t stay long enough to really do anything. I don’t even know how anyone could dive without planning decompression stops. If they were using a mixture then they would have training on how to do that.

    2. If that cave wasn’t so dangerous, why did a trained rescue diver die trying to get them out? Was the rescue diver also being careless?

    3. Pretty much ALL cave diving accidents are human error. I mean I guess there could be equipment malfunction, but there are contingencies for that. Failure to plan for that would also be human error.
